Shrew, Switzerland / France (Sorex, Crocidura sp. ?) (1 Viewer)

Is there a way to ID the species?

It has been digested, so only the skin and bones are left, see the skinny tail... I understand teeth should be red for Sorex (minutus, small size?), or is that's also the effect of digestion.... or Crocidura russula?

I don't see any red teeth and the general colouration looks good for Crocidura russula.
Thanks.
Would you say this one is the same species, I first thought it was also Crocidura russula, some similarities, but maybe grayer above, and bigger ...
